    A classically-styled city-builder that will test your ability to meticulously place and plan your building layouts, but that may lack the depth or intensity to attract a broader audience.

    Citadelum arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 with the same old school strategy vibe but maintaining it's long-term problems.

    The game allows for the players' gradual immersion into its mechanics and fundamentals, in a way that even those of little experience with such games will feel welcome, and the use of the Nintendo Switch 2 mouse control does wonders for the interactivity. Citadelum would have benefited from a greater development of its diplomatic and military components, and in the medium term it can feel somewhat repetitive due to the lack of a strong plot, but the game does a very good job with its core mechanics and fits neatly in the Switch 2 catalogue.
